Police: Naked Man Fires Gun at Traffic

Thu Dec 1, 6:32 AM ET

GERMANTOWN, Tenn. - A man wearing only socks was arrested along a busy street after witnesses said he fired a gun at afternoon traffic.

Temperatures were in the 40s when the incident occurred Tuesday. Police said no witnesses were injured.

Glenn Higgs, 44, of Germantown, was charged with reckless endangerment, indecent exposure, firing a weapon in the city limits and public intoxication, authorities said.

"I couldn't believe it," said Eddie Cox, who was driving home from the bank when he saw the naked gunman in this Memphis suburb.

Cox called police, who arrested Higgs at the scene and found a revolver in a nearby yard.

Higgs was sent to a hospital for a foot injury sustained when he earlier jumped from the second story of his home, authorities said.

I thought they locked up AL GORE ???

[Ultra Sonic 007]

I only hope that the gun used was a Colt .40 and not his 'personal' one. That would be sexual harrassment.

[Dead Corpse]

Public Intoxication? No.... really? Ya' think?

[evets]

What's his DU screen name?

[txroadhawg]

Was it a concealed gun?


Doesn't he know about male shrinkage?

[YouPosting2Me]

Good thing it wasn't a weapon.

Morons were put upon this Earth to give the rest of us Schadenfreude!

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Hurry, ping the liberaltarians! This guy didn't hurt anybody and is just another casualty of the brownshirts against drugs!

(/sarcasm)

Sorry, I had to make the (/sarcasm) large enough for the blurry eyed just in case there are too many snivellers who complain...

[NonValueAdded]

By definition, if he was naked the gun was unconcealed. However, if we are talking about a weapon, that is a different story. Now about that alleged firing ...

[Mr. Brightside]

The guy should be *hung* for this.

[sima_yi]

This is my rifle
This is my gun
This is for fighting
This is for fun.

(Sorry about that!)

Guess there wasn't anything good on TV at the time so he decided to make some news.
